Let’s Tackle Separation Anxiety—Together 💙
Separation anxiety is more common than you think—and not just in humans. Our furry friends can feel it too, especially after spending so much time with us at home.
Here are 5 simple ways to help ease your pet’s stress when you're away:
1. Create a Calm Goodbye Routine
Avoid the big, emotional send-off. Keep goodbyes low-key and quick to help your pet understand that your leaving isn’t a big deal—and that you’ll be back.
2. Leave Behind Comfort Items
Your scent can be incredibly soothing. Try leaving an old t-shirt or blanket with your pet when you head out. It's like a little piece of you stays behind.
3. Use Enrichment Toys & Puzzles
Keep their brain busy! Puzzle feeders, treat-dispensing toys, or frozen peanut butter in a Kong can distract and entertain your pet while you’re gone.
4. Stick to a Predictable Schedule
Pets thrive on routine. Try to keep feeding, walks, and departure times consistent. A predictable schedule can bring a lot of comfort and reduce stress.
5. Try CBD for Natural Calm
Chill Paws CBD products are designed to help soothe anxious pups and kitties without the drowsy side effects. A few drops before you leave can help your pet feel relaxed and secure, even when you’re not home.
